What the study found

Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.014 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0098-0.0183); p = 9 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 34% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.3 — in an intron of SMG6.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Diastolic blood pressure (UKB data field 4079). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Diastolic blood pressure (UKB data field 4079). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Diastolic blood pressure (UKB data field 4079). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs576185956

What is rs576185956?

rs576185956 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SMG6 gene. Published research associates it with diastolic blood pressure (ukb data field 4079). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs576185956 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Pressure. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs576185956 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs576185956 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
